2018 Jeep Compass

Standing still or moving the coolant Temp gauge goes up to H and turns Red, when this happens the vehicle instantly decelerates to approximately 5 mph. While on brake the car moves then and than immediately stops and I am unable to step on gas, when this happens i have to shut down and restart. This is extremely hazardous and can cause a collision when it slows down or shuts off. The dealer can not duplicate the problem. no warning prior to this happening.

As I accelerate the car while driving or from a start motion the car occasionally kicks back (jerks), causing me to immediately slow down to avoid the car from not stopping. It has never shut off, but I am concerned that it will while in moving traffic…I have noticed that cars behind me have stopped suddenly when my car jerks….feels like the back wheels are not moving for seconds but enough to cause an accident.

The touch screen is de laminating. Jeep wouldn't repair under warranty since car has been 1 year old. The delamination causes a driving risks as it turn on by itself, turns heat and air cond. on, makes it impossible to turn heated seats and heated steering wheel off during summer, and has even called 911 3 times while driving. This is definitely a safety issue. It's distracts the driver as the desalination act as the pressure point to turn on and off different systems while you are driving. You can't just pull over and turn the screen off , once it starts acting up it continuously turns itself back on.

Car turned off suddenly after idling at red light. "High coolant temp" warning light and others flashed briefly in dashboard. We could not move or start the engine at all. After about 2 minutes the car was able to be turned off and on and was driving normally without any dash warning lights, and we could not figure out the reason for this. It has happened before while idling.

Engine light comes on with a warning saying "Stop soon, Vehicle may shut off". A few times that light does not come on but the vehicle applied brakes while driving (5mph) on the road. Felt as if it put the parking brake on by itself. Engine light is still on now constantly saying to pull over. Dealer checked it out and re-grounded some wires but issue is still happening.

On 2/6 I was driving down the road and my coolant tempature went from the middle all the way to high. My car turned off and locked up and then turned back on. This happened again on 2-9 and 2-13. The dealership said the electric, wires, coolant sensor, and coolant system were fine. There were no air bubbles, leaks or gas seeping into the coolant system.

My 2018 Jeep Compass started out having minor issues that I just blew off at first. First thing I noticed after purchasing it new was the cruise control wouldn't allow me to set speed. It only happened randomly, now its every other time the jeep starts up. Then my back up camera started going black. It worked more times than not. Well, time goes by and now the whole touch screen is black, or white lines, upside down, and sometimes just rolls then completely black. Another day, my oil change light came on, (2000 miles before it was due) and the parking brake engaged itself and cut off. It wouldn't start back up for about 3 mins. I checked the oil level and it was way below the oil pressure gauge. So i added oil and it seemed to fix the issue. Which brings us up to date until today, my car was sitting still in a parking lot for about 15 mins. All of a sudden the dash clutter turns red with the message Transmission needs service. I cut the jeep off and turned it back on and when reversing, it jumped and knocked really hard and when put in drive wouldn't accelerate above 30 mph. I pulled into auto zone and had them read the check engine light and the code said P1DD2-TORQUE request singal from TCM Denied. Most likely solution: REPROGRAM ELECTRONIC SHIFT MODULE (ESM) POWERTRAIN SYSTEM.
